"Myanmar Rebels Seize Strategic City Near China Amid Ethnic Alliance Uprising"
An ethnic alliance in Myanmar, known as the Three Brotherhood Alliance, has successfully seized control of Laukkaing, a strategic city on the border with China. This significant victory comes after months of conflict with Myanmar's military government, which has been facing widespread resistance since its 2021 coup. The alliance's offensive is part of a broader struggle against military rule and organized crime in the region. Despite the military's withdrawal, citing the safety of soldiers' families and relations with China, tensions remain high as the alliance continues its campaign to fight military rule and has declared the Kokang region a "Military Council-free area."
